Re: US Politics Thread
I don’t think it’s anyone at the cabinet level
It would be awfully lame of the NYT to release it if it wasnt someone of notoriety. Again, if it did come out who wrote it and it turned out to be some ham & egger NYT would face huge backlash and Trumps 'Fake News' and 'Witch Hunt' agenda would take on new life.
Its gotta be someone high up and well known.

I’m thinking it’s a senior aide in the White House. Cabinet secretaries wouldn’t be left alone in the Oval Office or do things like remove letters from his desk. It could be Kelly, but it’d have to be someone with routine access to the president and his office.
This is a big deal for a lot of reasons. But it shouldn’t be celebrated. Usurping the president is treason. It is unconstitutional. If this article came out under Obama, the left would want the author’s head.
If the author really believed this, they’d come forward. Hiding behind anonymity isn’t courage, it’s the exact opposite.

That was my guess too, an aide to someone senior. The person behind figureheads, carrying the notes but sits in on the meetings hearing it all.
Is the content that surprising to anyone? It’s been plain as day Trump is a loose cannon from day one. This just confirms it.

Good god...how come you’re always concerned about how trump is being treated?
You’re always so critical of everyone who criticizes Trump but i rarely if ever hear you criticize Trump himself.
You’re also extremely quick to throw that word treason around but dismissed the Russia/Trump treasonous collusion accusations almost immediately.
You’re too busy playing constitutional scholar to care about someone as impulsive as Trump taking the bait into something of serious consequence.

I know what your saying but do you think the NYT would publish 'anonymously' this piece if it was just some aide? It's gotta be a household name & someone who knew with conviction the NYT would go along with it. Otherwise too much of a risk if they said No & later word gets out about the attempted sabotage.
I don't think it's Conway. Haley's a good guess but I don't think she's in his office enough to have seen so much of this. I think Kushners chances are rising for me, especially after him attending McCains funeral and probably feeling out of place. Although I'd guess this was in the works for some time. Also Kelly & Mattis.
